    Surgical intervention for tuberculous pericarditis led to better outcomes than medical treatment alone. Early surgery reduced mortality and complications, with shorter hospital stays for patients with tuberculosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Cardiology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Tuberculous pericarditis is a serious condition requiring effective treatment.
    • The optimal management strategy for tuberculous pericarditis remains under investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the outcomes of surgical versus medical management for tuberculous pericarditis.
    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of early surgical intervention.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 12 patients with tuberculous pericarditis treated over 10 years.
    • Comparison of outcomes between 4 surgically treated patients and 8 medically treated patients.

    Main Results:

    • Surgical treatment resulted in no deaths or major complications.

  • Medical treatment was associated with one death, anaerobic empyema, and respiratory arrest.
  • Surgically treated patients had an average hospital stay 33 days shorter than medically treated patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Early surgical intervention is recommended for tuberculous pericarditis patients unresponsive to chemotherapy.
    • Surgical management appears to improve outcomes and reduce hospital stay.
